What if I can’t install a compiler at school?

Often there are restrictions on what software you can install on the computers at school. It may be because the software isn’t on the Education Department’s accepted list or you just have trouble getting your admin to getting around to installing it for you. This may prevent you from teaching programming to your kids at school or even from learning it yourself.

Don’t distress!

The answer is to use the fully online compilers available at ideone.com. You can find all different language compilers there including one for C++ and Java. And there are also sample programs there you can run through to get you started.
